Went on a four hour inshore charter with Shelby as a captain. He got us onto redfish at high tide and we had about 15 on the line had Nine nice keepers between 18 and 22 inches. Also caught one 27 in that we had to throw back. We then moved and went to two spots to fish spotted trout. Last spot was great and we landed three nice trout and one small flounder. Great day and great catch overall and Shelby was a perfect captain, very Knowledgeable, friendly And courteous. Would highly recommend booking with Shelby and/or his dad, Andy. Awesome trip!!!
We caught multiple sharks today and several stingrays! Toward the end of trip we trailed some shrimp boats and basically got a dolphin tour! Captain Shelby and Trey were awesome with our kids (5 and 10) letting them real in catches they hooked. It was the best day and I would HIGHLY recommend this trip to anyone wanting a more thrilling charter
Our family had a great time fishing with Captain Andy. We caught a lot of sharks and whiting plus three stingrays. It was a great experience reeling in the big fish and learning about the tides and fish that live between Jekyll and Little Cumberland Island. They did a great job of cleaning the fish we were able to keep and we are looking forward to at least three great dinners from this trip. We look forward to our next trip to Jekyll so we can do this again.
Captain Shelby, Captain Andy’s son, was the perfect choice for our half day of shark fishing off Jekyll Island, Georgia. The boat had a Bimini top to provide shade. Shelby welcomed us with an easy laugh, marine wildlife facts and local island tidbits. The day was windy so Captain Shelby adapted to stay closer inshore behind a shrimp boat. His efforts paid off! Our college kids got in plenty of “reel action”. The family got 16 hits and pulled in ten significant sharks to catch and release! We learned about specific behavior differences between sharks. Shelby was quick to move lines and position the boat during catches. It was a pleasure to have Captain Shelby as our guide. The fishing trip was a wonderful time to bond before everyone is headed back to college and a great start to Shark Week! We recommend Captain Shelby and his dad Captain Andy for a fair price and terrific fishing trip! We’re already planning our next one!

first ever fishing charter experience with my wife and small kids. caught a ton of fish for a 3 hour voyage. multiple species, multiple locations. Captain and mate made sure we didnt have to do anything but reel tight lines. we loved it.

Captain Shelby was awesome! We had so much fun! We caught like 7 or 8 sharks. He definitely knows where to fish at! Super friendly staff and easy to talk to! Definitely recommend them! If we ever make it back to Georgia, we know who to call!!!
Fantastic day started drifting for whiting catching mostly shark and stingray. Moved out with shrimp boats and caught several nice black tip shark. Great fighting fish. Very knowledgeable captain.

Captain Shelby was very knowledgeable about the area and what fish to expect to catch. I asked to catch a shark and he made it happen. We plan to book a trip with him again in the future.

My son caught a big Black tip , Spinner, I caught Finetooth , Mom got a Black nose , rods were bent all day long . Will definitely book another trip . Thanks for the adventure!!!!!! Glenn
